Audible scratching emanating from the brakes

[MotoGravity]

Greetings, everyone.
Possess a 2002 C240 with around 39,000 miles on the odometer.


Upon executing a left turn, I see a scraping noise emanating from the front left, which ceases instantly upon using the brakes, even mildly. It is audible alone with the windows down.
The discs have not been changed in 23 years, however the pads (Brembos) were updated around 10 months ago.

Do you have any suggestions? I suspect the discs are worn and need replacement. I will elevate the vehicle at my first opportunity to inspect for any irregularities, such as uneven pad wear or dry sliders.
Alignment is necessary due to extensive suspension modifications on the vehicle, including control arms, track rod ends, and struts.

Thank you

There may be an obstruction in the pads.
The C class platform has a problem with the foot brake cable that runs longitudinally, which may fracture a clip located at the centre underneath of the vehicle, allowing the cable to make contact with the prop shaft. Therefore, if the issue is not related to the brakes, consider this possibility.

It may just be a fragment of grit lodged behind the rear plate; this occurred to a friend of mine, resulting in it being so heated that it fused to the plate.

The left turn indicates that the park brake cable is contacting the prop shaft. I own a clip priced at the cost of a pint.

Thank you, I will review it when I get the opportunity.
If it diminishes at modest braking, might it still suggest the propeller? I have perused many discussions on the matter, and individuals often assert that the noise emanates from the middle of the vehicle; but, when I see it, it certainly originates from the front passenger side with the window down.


What I shall do to eliminate the brakes as a possibility I will elevate the vehicle and rotate the front wheels to see whether the sound is audible while the propeller is not in motion.
